I migrated my old D&D forums account a while ago but I couldn’t log into D&D insider recently. So I created a new account with the same e-mail address and a different username… and it reactivated my old account, with my old username. Go figure. But it works.

Part-time sorceress, or full-time wizard?

Shelly Mazzanoble, author of Confessions of a part-time sorceress, writes an entertaining column called Confessions of a full-time wizard! She’s either multi-classed, or confused – and I’ve never heard of a sorcerer/wizard multi-classed character (wouldn’t that be the worst multi-class ever?)

Anyhow, what matters is that her articles are great! Very fluffy and they give a good idea of what’s going on daily at WotC – they play D&D a lot apparently.

Expy is the mascot for DungeonMastering.com and the real mastermind behind Expy Games. He likes to hoard treasure, terrorize neighbors, burn down villages, and tell white dragon jokes..

No matter how fearful the legends claim dragons are, they always end up being defeated in 5 rounds by adventuring parties they encounter. That’s what dragons are – experience points for the heroes in your Dungeons & Dragon party. And this mascot is no different, hence the name Expy.

There’s actually a prestige class, probably in Complete Mage or Complete Arcane. I can’t think of the name off the top of my head, but basically it’s a dual-progression arcane prepared/spontaneous caster. Kind of like the mystic theurge, but for sorcerer/wizards.

Seems like a nice fit. You got your sorcerer for blasting and your wizard for utility.

If you like the articles you have got to read her book. It is amazingly well written and she truly captivates the reader. By the end of that book you feel like you personally know Shelly and her character Astrid.

I’m not sure about multi-classing sorcerer and wizard. If you stack the spellcaster levels then the multi-class becomes better than both the sorcerer and the wizard. You keep the benefits and lose the disadvantages of each class.

I’ll look up Ian’s suggestion when I get a chance.
